i swear i'm not on drugs.

I don't live in a high-end department store either, though this music may cause you to think differently. Dim the lights, lay on your bed,* and chill out to these trancey beats.








*Note use of what used to be the Oxford Comma.

awesomeness

There are two reasons for this post:
1) This song is chill and perfect for a nighttime drive down ocean parkway
2) My brother is starring in the music video

friend dates

There's something about being in a major city and/or passing the two-decades-old mark that changes one-on-one, opposite sex socializing. All of a sudden it's totally cool and platonic to get dinner, followed by dessert in the nearest park. In your teens, such activities scream "THIS IS A DATE." Or that's at least how it seemed to be in my suburban town. But friend dates are awesome. And if you happen to find yourself in downtown Manhattan on a friend date, you should check out Red Bamboo. The food is delicious, the serving sizes are perfect--you won't have three days worth of leftovers--and it's cheap. Located at 140 W. 4th St. it's right near Washington Sq. Park and only a short walk from Pinkberry and 16 Candles for dessert.

                      

*Red Bamboo is 100% vegetarian and has many vegan options as well.

grammatical adoption

Dear Oxford,

It disturbs me that you no longer care for your offspring, the Oxford Comma. It is a perfectly acceptable piece of punctuation, and has been extremely helpful and valued over the years. Your love for it may have dissipated, but mine remains strong. With that being said, I am legally adopting the Oxford Comma. I think it is best if this is a closed adoption, as Comma is deeply hurt. You do not have a say in this.

Yours truly,
paperbag trendy

identity crisis

Is it a mini or a maxi? Who knows? These pieces can't make up their minds. But who cares? They're pretty, they're flowy, and they're feminine. I want them all.
